Once again, we're gearing up for the Spring on the Mountain series of group rides. These rides have been well organized and in great numbers for the last few years by Save Mount Diablo and Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay.

As it is early in the season, we're looking to plan the group rides now and need volunteers to lead the various rides. SMD is interested in rides in the greater Mount Diablo area parks: http://www.savemountdiablo.org/whole%20map.jpg (full sized)

If you are interested in leading a ride during a weekend between March 15 and June 15 in one (or more) of the parks shown on this map, then please contact me for more information.

For ideas and past information, check these previous MTBR threads:

Hope to see you there!

For each ride, I need:

1) Date
2) Time (Meeting and Ride Start)
3) Meeting Place
4) Approximate route and/or a description of the ride
5) Approximate expected distance and finish time
6) Technical, Strenuousity and Overall (T/S/O) ratings from 1-10
7) contact information for people to RSVP for rides.

Rules to keep in mind:
A waiver will be filled out and signed by all participants. I will provide you with a waiver, either by hyperlink or hardcopy. This is critical!!!
Please keep the route to legal trails and to the parks shown on the SMD map.
Riders are required to wear helmets throughout the ride.

So far, the only date I have is for Saturday, May 19th. I don't mind having co-leaders for this one but I am planning a super-mega 50-60 mile epic ride with shorter/slower subgroups in addition.

Thanks,
Dan

I've got rides from EBrider and VTT as well as a couple of non-MTBR folks for the following dates:

Chris T. - April 7 - Intermediate - Monte Vista HS to Dan Cook and Wall Point
Steve B. - April 21 - Intermediate - Mitchell Cyn to Summit
Nick M. - April 28 - Intermediate - Shell Ridge to Pine Canyon
Drew B. - May 5 - Beginner - Macedo to Shell Ridge
Mel C. - May 12 - Beginner/Intermediate - Macedo to Borges
Alain - May 12 - Intermediate - Black Diamond Mines from Clayton
Alex - June 17 - Intermediate/Advanced - Macedo to Mother's

It would be great if I could add more dates to this series of rides. How about a tour of Lime Ridge? Anyone?
